Clean Out The Fridge Leftover Pie Thingy

So last night I made an awesome Pot Roast from The Pioneer Woman. I've made it before and it looks so pretty and makes a delicious hearty meal. And lots of leftovers! Last night I served it with mashed potatoes, gravy and artichokes. I used a cheaper cut of meat with lots of fat and some big bones. It fed our family with one lunch for someone to take to work. I saved the rest of the potatoes, meat and gravy for tonight's frakenmeal.



We'll be getting our farmshare delivery tomorrow, so I want to clean out the fridge and start fresh! I have some carrots, an onion, and leftovers from last night. So let's make a pie! Also I want to boil the bones and fatty bits and make some beef broth to be used later.

I chopped the good parts of the meat into little chunks and threw the rest into a soup pot with the bones and most of the onion. I chopped about a 1/4 of the onion and sauteed it with two carrots in about a 1/4 cup of vermouth for about 10 minutes.



Once the veggies were tender, I added the leftover gravy and mixed it with the vermouth in the pan. I added some frozen peas to the beef and mixed it all together in the pie pan.



Spread the mashed potatoes on top and add some shredded cheese and tada! You're done! Bake until warm and bubbly and cheese is melted.
